Autumn is coming and with it we've provided some pretty awesome classes!

Comic Book Drawing (5 weeks, one day a week, 1 hour per class: ages 8 and up). Students will learn the basic fundamentals of comic book drawing. Each artist will be encouraged to think of a story and capture the characters on paper. Using ink, pencil and paper their characters and the story will come to life. Cost of the class is $120 which includes a $20 material fee.

Art Around the World (10 weeks, one day a week 1 hour per class: ages 4 and up). Students will be able to explore other cultures in this class, exploring art from countries all over the world. Class will include geography, using the world map to identify and locate a different country or region each week. Students participate in multiple stations that focus on painting, drawing, weaving, and sculpture. Regions include: Japan, France, Morocco, Brazil, Australia, and India and many more! Class is offered on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Cost is $198/10 weeks, $105/5 weeks.

Something Old

Artists love to create. We love to provide them with the tools...in this case utensils.

I decided to go to an estate sale with my sister (very strange to go through other peoples belongings when they are no longer present). Nevertheless, I thought, what better way to honor someone than to have young children, full of life, make art out of their utensils. The very utensils that aided in the nourishment of their once living bodies. Maybe too much information for you? Oh well, these wind chimes have meaning...
